Kelly Finley is in her fourth season as an assistant coach at
Harvard. Finley is in charge of coordinating all aspects of
recruiting for the Crimson as well as player development and
scouting opponents’ offenses.

Harvard posted a 57-29 record in Finely's first three years on
the job, including a 32-10 record in the Ivy League. 12 Crimson
earned All-Ivy honors in that time, including Emma Markley '11 who
was a three-time honoree and ranks ninth on the school's all-time
scoring list with 1,285 career points.

Harvard's 2011 recruiting class was ranked as the 31st-best
class in the country by ESPN and included the program's first-ever
McDonald's All-American in Temi Fagbenle, who was rated the
13th-best prospect as a senior. Harvard's 2012 recruiting class
includes guard Shilpa Tummala, who is ranked 68th overall.

A Mountain West Scholar-Athlete Award winner, Finley won two
varsity letters at Colorado State and one at Northwestern. She
started eight of 13 games as a freshman for the Wildcats before an
injury sidelined the rookie for the rest of the season. She
appeared in 20 games in her first season with the Rams, making
three starts. In her final season with the Rams, Finley played in
24 contests while battling chronic stress fractures. She was part
of the CSU team that upset Utah, then ranked No. 8 in the national
polls, in the Mountain West Tournament in 2008.

She was involved with Boys and Girls Club of Fort Collins and
Chicago as well as a representative on the Student Athletic
Advisory Committee and a member of the Fellowship of Christian
Athletes (FCA).
